DIY EHCI debug dongle
The wiki is being retired!
Documentation is now handled by the same processes we use for code: Add something to the Documentation/ directory in the coreboot repo, and it will be rendered to https://doc.coreboot.org/. Contributions welcome!
Hardware
A dongle to debug target with EHCI Debug Port capability can be built using two Cypress CY7C68013A (aka FX2LP) USB device chips. Theory of operation is described in Cypress Application Note AN63787[1].
There are a few boards in the 10-15 EUR pricerange to choose from and a dozen suppliers in ebay.
A slower uni-directional boot console has been demonstrated to work with one FX2LP and a TTL-UART-to-USB adapter. In theory at least, some JTAG dongles with FX2LP could be used to capture coreboot console from EHCI debug port.
Prototype
